Angels and Seerstones: A Latter Day Saint Folklore Podcast
Latter-day Saints are a people of radical faith. Their tradition is one in which angels visit everyday people and sometimes men and women see the divine in stones. In this podcast we examine the lived religion of Latter-day Saints, the stories we tell, and the beliefs we debate. Join Christine and Chris Blythe, professional folklorists and LDS converts who openly profess their faith while exploring the traditions of their chosen people.

Every missionary collects stories. Some are funny. Some are inspiring. A few become legends. In this episode, we explore LDS missionary folklore, mission rumors, baptism stories, mission presidents, and the traditions that connect missionaries across generations and around the world. Some stories are true. Others are simply too good not to tell.
